The development of the sectors around the Refugio continues. As already posted in Just a few quick climbs in the evening we wanted to open new routes nearby.

In October 2017, we opened the [wpcragGuideLink id = ‘1237396659’] with the help of Simon and Andy. It represents the left end of the massif, which later merges into the [wpcragGuideLink id = ‘587217471’] and [wpcragGuideLink id = ‘587225973’]. Here as well as there, the rock quality is very good, but unfortunately the routes are a bit short with only 10 to 12 meters – but also the approach is short.

The sector lies in a beautiful oak forest and provides shade all day long. Resting at the anchors, you can enjoy the beautiful view over the oak trees into the valley and learn why this sector got its name. The short approach and the flat area at the bottom of the face make it a quite family friendly place, even if easy routes are missing. If you do not want to drive down to the Refugio you can alternatively park directly above the cliff on the main road to Olba and descend in a few minutes to the sector.
